These are fascinating studies ranging from the Apostolic and Desert Fathers through St. Francis of Assisi, Julian of Norwich and St. Therese of Lisieux. Simon Tugwell is not just concerned with prayer and contemplation and spiritual exercises. He is concerned with people's ways of viewing things, the ways in which they try to make sense of the practicalities of Christian living and to illuminate Christian hopes and Christian muddles. These stories trace the history of the Christian vision which is not for an elite only but for all persons. Ways of Imperfection should be of interest and of value to all Christians concerned with and perhaps bothered by “spirituality.” (250 pages)
